Re: ALL-STARS
Shaman, You are right I don’t like Sponsky. Never have, never will. It seems to me that you are dragging some ones little brother through the mud. Not me.
The cover up must have been good. I cannot believe that your wife works there and you didn’t know about the weapons policy violation - FYI - it happened just last year during the football season. The violator does not have any older brothers. He did however receive an in school suspension (so he could still attend practice) and a five-second delay in starting the varsity game the following weekend. He should have been expelled. He is also an excellent example of sportsmanship –he walked off the field at each of the three games BC lost last year and did not shake the opponents hands. That’s not BS and I do know it. I am willing to bet the violation is not even recorded on his permanent record, the cover up would have been at least that good. You know it is not even his fault – he is a very nice kid – just gets away with whatever he wants. It is the coaches and administrations fault.
I didn’t say the weapons policy violator was the quarterback last year or this year. Brock is an excellent quarterback, maybe he should have gotten that chance and been the starting quarterback last year. No I am not implying that Sponsky is not playing someone who is more talented than Brock. Brock belongs where he is. I am not even implying that Jeff would be the quarterback if he were one of the chosen ones. Although he is very tall and that would be a great advantage. I am not even implying that Brock is a chosen one. I am saying that if Jeff were given more opportunities of course he would be doing better. Good Luck to both of them.
What I am saying is that a man from Ebensburg once told me that each year Sponsky focuses on two players – after looking back and watching now I found his statement to be true. I agreed with him. Like you said I am entitled to my opinion. I am also saying that if you pound the ball in one direction at one player every play or every other play – and the player is any type of an athlete they are bound to do some good. It does appear that Sponsky is mixing it up a bit this year. That is going to stink for individual star stats.
I have tons of inside information about Bishop Carroll and I know that students come and students go for all sorts of reasons. I also know that football players are treated differently than other student athletes and students who are not athletes. They even get extra money for tuition – call it recruiting – call it whatever you want.
I am also implying that there are many things that happen at BC that get swept under the rugs. I am also saying excellent athletes weather chosen or not will excel on their own and sometimes the ones chosen do not even excel and that stinks for Sponsky. That’s all.

Re: ALL-STARS
I just asked my wife if she has any recollection of any kid getting caught with a weapon from last year. She has absolutely no recollection of that, and I have to tell you she is no fan of football. She personally could care less if BC goes 9-0 or 0-9. BC is a small school and there would have been plenty of talk around the teacher’s lunchroom if anybody, let alone some star athlete was caught with a weapon. So you’re telling me that it is so well covered up that no teachers knew about it and so deeply buried that it kept off his record, and oh by the way he’s a nice kid and it isn’t really his fault. Now how am I supposed to respond to all that? I will make you a deal: If you have so much insider information, give me the teacher’s name that supposedly busted the kid for the weapon and I will personally find out. You really have my curiosity up now. If you are relying on hearsay from the bleacherparent grapevine, I guess we’ll find out. You are laying some pretty harsh charges on Deb Meckey by the way I know for a fact that she has dealt quickly and fully with student athletes who screwed up in the past for things far less serious than this. If she did what you are saying, I question her competence as a principal and if you are wrong I would say you are getting pretty close to libel.
As far as football players being treated differently, I can only tell you that my wife contributed deficiency reports that resulted in 4 players getting dropped from the team due to academic deficiencies last week. Not one word from Craig or from Deb. When my wife does hall duty during football season, even fairly obnoxious players give her absolutely no grief because they know one pink slip and they won’t dress that week. So help me out here, where are you getting your information? I told you where I get mine. I am serious about this, you come on here talking about all of these big scandals that get covered up. Name some names. If I am wrong I will shut up, admit I am wrong, and drop the whole subject. But as far as I am concerned, the jury is still out about your insiders report on the dirty secrets at BCHS, and I dang sure don’t think that you know what you are talking about when it comes to coaching. Craig Sponsky’s offense for years has relied on an athletic quarterback and a running back that can get outside. They have never been known as a passing team, but hey guess what? Most small schools are in the same boat. If that equals two “chosen ones” than I guess so be it. Since coming to the LHAC BC has lost 4 regular season games: 3 to Forest Hills and 1 to Johnstown. Apparently he puts some thought into picking his “chosen ones”

Re: ALL-STARS
I will send you a private message with the detailed facts to satisfy your curiosity.
Re: ALL-STARS
Didn't they join the LHAC in 2001?
Re: ALL-STARS
B.C. also lost to Westmont their first season in the LHAC. I think they lost three games that season, probably also losing to Forest Hills and Bedford.
Re: ALL-STARS
As I recall Johnstown, Central and Bishop Carroll officially joined the LHAC in 2001.
Forest Hills played Johnstown as a tenth game in 2000 as sort of a "Welcome to the LHAC" game.
Bishop Carroll did lose a game to Bedford in week 9 of 2000, but I'm not certain they were official members of the league that year. Based on their schedule, only 7 of the first 9 games were against LHAC teams.
Since 2001 I think shaman is correct that Carroll has only lost 4 league games, with 3 of those coming from Forest Hills.
Bishop Carroll did lose three games last year, but the last loss was to Bellwood-Antis in the playoffs.

Re: ALL-STARS
Remember, I specifically said regular season games. Unless you take the state championship you always lose in post-season one time. That's how your season ends!
You guys are all correct about the 2000 season. BC got whacked around pretty good in a "Welcome to the LHAC preview" but if I recall correctly that was their limbo season between the Appalachian Conference and joining the LHAC, which I believe happened in the 2001 season. If I am wrong, apologies to all :oops:
